E204: Confessions Of An Overactive Bladder

If you’ve ever joked about “peeing just a little” when you sneeze,
or you’re the kind of person who always has to know where the
bathroom is, this one’s for you. Vanessa is sharing her personal
(and super vulnerable) journey with bladder issues: how it started,
the surprising symptoms, the anxiety it caused, and the
expert-backed tools and tricks that actually helped. We asked our
community if they’ve experienced bladder problems — and 62% of
women said yes. So if you’re in that group, or just curious to hear
a side of health and intimacy we’ve never talked about before, tune
in. This episode might just be a game changer for you. Here’s a
peek at what we cover: That awkward moment when you realize…
